Quagga soon to be boosted by ISC and Google

The growing popularity of software defined networking has resulted in a spurt in networking startups, and that is going to get a further boost in coming months thanks to Google and an open-source project shepherded by the Internet Systems Consortium, a non-profit entity. The ISC is supporting a project to stabilize and test Quagga, open-source networking software. The project, called the Open Source Routing Project, is exciting because it could help make a cheap, open-source router a reality.

I expect them to bloat the code and maybe have something usable in a year or two. I doubt many of the original people will enjoy the more formal ISC way, so you'll see a fairly major rewrite since the new people will rewrite rather than understand and fix, leaving both sections of code in place.

..a computer is a stupid machine with the ability to do incredibly smart things, while computer programmers are smart people with the ability to do incredibly stupid things. They are,in short, a perfect match..

Try the latest 4.8.x.x firmware. It is becoming very stable and complete.
